This summer, take advantage of a unique opportunity to explore the burgeoning field of space weather! The SWREDI summer boot camp includes nearly two weeks of training, with the first week focusing on the fundamentals of space weather and the second week on intensive forecaster training. In addition, one-to-one discussions with CCMC scientists on special research topics or specific space weather user needs are possible throughout the bootcamp.  

Training will feature the Integrated Space Weather Analysis System (http://iswa.gsfc.nasa.gov) space environment models installed at the CCMC (http://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov), and will draw on the experience of the CCMC/SWRC’s unique research-based space weather service/forecasting team.

The program is ideal for motivated undergraduate or graduate students who seek to be independent space weather forecasters, or to perform space weather related research. Scientists, teachers, mission operators, engineers, competitive high school students and others who are interested in developing a basic knowledge regarding space weather can also benefit from this training, particularly during its first week.

Location: NASA/GSFC Bldg 21, Rm 183.
Time: June 2 - 5, 2015 (Fundamentals of space weather)
